@Free Tours by Foot - New York 17:50 For sure. I remember all the huge criticism about Libeskind's design for the "Freedom Tower" ... back in 2002-03 when it was unveiled ... and all the redesigns etc. that followed. Then, when David Childs came with the final design we see today ... much of the righteous criticism and negativity vanished. You now had massive support, for Child's design feeling like a real tower ... and a real tribute to the Twin Towers and the lives that were lost. You know, being really impressive, massive and good-looking. Nothing like the original design by Libeskind ... that saw the remaining 500 ft. of the building unoccupied ... with trees and gardens and a spire ... while it would only go up 60 stories or so. Now you have One WTC with 104 stories, 200 square ft at the base and 1370 ft tall at its roof and 1776 ft at its spire. So much better and a vast improvement.
Hello from Australia. Excellent walking tour Katie. I was in New York in 2006 when it was still Ground Zero hole in the ground. I kept looking for my most memorable memory of my visit throughout your video and thinking where is it????... Miraculously you covered it right at the end of the video. The old church! It was open in 2006 and I remember reading that despite the collapse of the two Ginormous Twin Towers, not a single pane of glass was broken in the old church. That still sticks in my mind all these years later. Many amazing coincidental things happened to me whilst in New York. Thanks for your excellent walking tour Katie.

Thank you for doing this, as a disabled young woman I will never be able to visit new york due to my on going health issues. This means a lot. Thank you again, just wish I was able to go inside the museum and visit.

I visited the memorial in 2019 just before Covid-19 and it was the most eerie experiences of my life. Even with all the noise, it felt strangely quiet, I know that sounds a bit weird, but the water seemed to drown out the chaos. I will never forget the day I spent here and I feel deeply sorry for the people it impacted so tragically.
I also went there and you can hear the silent even in the city that never sleeps. I think it’s the ominous feeling that this is the worst tragedy in American history, where many people died. It’s that void of knowing of what happened it made it even more sad and scary
They intentionally designed the memorial so that you only hear the water even in city noise. This way whenever youre at ground zero, "its always quiet"
The hydroponic system under the plaza that recycle the pool water and feeds the trees is an amazing engineering marvel. Your tour was very nicely done.
I remember visiting this. I was only 8 and had little understanding but I was heartbroken about it. I looked at every name and said a prayer for their family’s. I hung over the side admiring the pools. We were there for hours and my parents said I was raised right to pay all that respects. They said it was a little thing from a big heart
Absolutely appreciated, as a native New Yorker currently living in Orlando. Tour was beautifully done. I was born and raised in The Bronx. I was 24 when I saw the towers attacked live on tv and it still breaks my heart at the memories of it. I had been to them many times over the years. As a family, we always made it a part of our tour spots whenever family came to visit us in NYC. Thank you so much for doing and sharing this video. Truly means a lot. Besides the many lives lost and impacted that day, our skyline has never been the same and that’s been heartbreaking to see your home attacked and changed in this way. Virtual hugs. #NeverForgotten #UnitedWeStand or at least many of us still do.
I was 41 when the towers were hit. On my way to a job and I heard the word twin tower and I shut the car the car RIGHT OFF at 8:52am est in elmont NY... but I learned a lot later when I called up a customer... My father Ronnie pettigrew... He helped build the foundation for the twin towers I have a pic dated April 1969.
I am so proud to say that the main trade center that was rebuilt is 1,776 feet to comemorate the number of the year of when America declared independence. Good for you NYC!!! Let the pride of this country flow and spread far! I want to go here and see all of the city again. I came here, well the city, back in 2007....I was 16. They were still in the major process of building the new twin trade center. If I come to this city again to tour, I wlll go to the memorial and all that is featured in this video. This day should NEVER be forgotten. R.I.P
Thank you so very much for that very good tour. As a south African I most probably will never get to New York city and it felt like I was right there in memorial park. I just want to mention that the priest, Father Judge who the first responders carried out after the first tower collapsed, they went and laid his body on the altar at St. Paul's. I've watched every documentary on 9/11 and that was something that stuck with me. Once again thank you so much
I was there in September 2018 and it wasn't easy seeing all those names on the memorials and knowing that two structures formerly occupied the two sites and it was eerie knowing that about 2,800 innocent people who showed up for work on that Tuesday morning 20 years ago and they lost their lives for no reason. Let's hope we never face such a horrific day ever again.
I was 19 from South Africa, starting as an Au pair for the year and saw the World trade centre the week before the tragic event. It's been 20 years but I will never forget that they. It will forever be a part of me, understanding and sharing this emotional day and every year on 9/11, I remember in honour of every person fallen and impacted by it and will never forget your patriotism♥️

20+ years later and I still can’t muster up the courage to visit ground zero… i went in June of 2001 with my dad to Tower 1 to drop off some paper work and I remember being so amazed by everything and the tunnels underground that seemed like a hidden mini city. And then On 9/11 I was in English class when I heard the first plane fly so low over my school I could feel my desk shake and my feet vibrating on the floor. And then we heard the explosion. After that just total caos. Thank you for posting this cause idk if I’ll ever be able to go myself in person and pay my respects 😢
Thank you for the tour. I was in N.Y. when the attacks took place. Just one week before my mother had a major surgery against cancer. She was released from the hospital on September 10, 2001 and had to get back to the hospital on September 11, 2001 for complications. It was like a bad dream Thank you
This is a great video. I was a sophomore in high school during 9/11. I'm from Detroit. That day instantly made me an adult. I've never been to NYC but always wanted to go and this is a must see for me. I really hope I can handle it. I don't know how I can re live that emotion again

Thank You with all my heart for this film. I cry for each person who died here.Your full of details explanations about the full of love monument,especially by listing the names by connotations helped me to suffer less for these lost human beings.God bless You.
Thank you so much for such an interesting and informative tour. I'm in UK and would love to visit New York one day to see the beautiful memorial plaza and the new buildings, which are awesome in design. So much I didn't know, but loved the story of the survivor tree, very moving and poignant. The first responders were so brave and courageous that day and beyond, its heartbreaking how many were lost. A day nobody will ever forget, but to see how New York has rebuilt, provides hope for the future. Thank you again and best wishes to all in New York from UK.
Glad that you enjoyed the tour, Stephanie. We hope you get the chance to visit in person. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.

We were having breakfast here in New Zealand when I was at school when the tragedy came across the news channel. I thought it was a new movie coming out I then realised it was repeating on the news then I clicked and it started to sink in. I'm soooooooooo happy NYC has recovered alot from the past events

Thank you for this video. I'm coming over from the UK in a couple of days to visit New York and I'm really excited to see the memorial. It's amazing how 9/11 still feels like it happened yesterday, even though it was 21 years ago.
You are welcome. Glad that you enjoyed the video, Mark. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
It is so beautiful and so so sad at the same time!! I remember 911 I live in canada ottawa ontario and we felt such sadness for our American Family thank you for this video
It has been several years since I walked the same area with my wife. You answered questions we had the several times we had previously visited. Thank you! It enabled me to have flash backs to when we were there and what we saw and felt. My wife is from Manhattan, so we will be back again even if we have to rent wheel chairs!
Yes, like many others who were alive then, I remember exactly where I was when this happened! Broke my heart even though I personally did not know anyone who perished that day. What a tragedy and I can't believe it has been 20 years!! I would like to go to New York and see all this in person, hopefully someday.................this was very well done except you should look into building 7 and the real reason it came down, it was not from falling debris from another building. Thank you for posting this, and God Bless America!!
Thank you for this tour. I live in Queens and I really didn’t know anyone firsthand who died on 9/11 but I haven’t been able to bring myself to come downtown and see the memorial yet. Maybe someday but until then tours like yours are so meaningful and insightful.
Awesome vlog and tour! Having visited the 9/11 memorial museum twice and loved it, did not know about the other various places to visit around the WTC area, now I have to go back! THANKS!
The enormous work that took to clean up & rebuild this place my devoted respect to those who are still here & to the once who aren’t May peace & harmony be with you in your after life❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
May the lost souls be smiling down on this place with the notion that America came together to rebuild the trade center so they will always be remembered ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks so much for doing this! Out of ALL the 9/11 things I've seen, there has been nothing explaining in detail the memorial site the way you have. Thanks for all the info!
Can you believe me, that I cried almost a year about innocent victims? Those twins also were very tremendously beautiful, since they had nothing extra-unneccessary construction elements in its architecture. Skyscrapers as they are in its meaning and first association with the word 'skyscraper' appears in my mind - they are. From Kiev, Ukraine
WOOW...these walking tours are full of history! Thanks for making these; most TH-cam videos is just walking, but I actually love these types of videos where u get to learn about the city and the history of it. It reminds me of my friend (a teacher) who made a city way more interesting when walking inside of it. Thank you.

I went on holiday to new york a few months ago and our hotel was in the financial district. The first thing we went to see was the 9/11 memorial since it was closest to us. Im from the south of England and was born 2 years after 911. I'd never seen a picture of the memorial before so i didn't know what to expect but it was beautiful. The one thing i couldn't get out of my head though was that it was completely flawless. If the memorial was in London id have a hard time believing it wouldnt be covered in piss and graffiti. But all the public had done was put flowers in the names of those who they loved and lost. New york respect and unity is untouched.

The memory of that day is celebrated with the memory of the fallen heroes. I still get tears 😂 we I watch. I love the memorial pools, where the north and south towers stood. I cried 😿 the day it happened, I could not believe my eyes. I live in Oregon and felt the pain here.
Of all that happened on 9/11/2001, this tree at 11:39 in this video is a gift from God. A charred tree, recovered & grown again showing the resilience that not only New York City has, but the USA also.
Visited the site in 2003, 2010 and 2018. I like the way the US always commemorates victims by not reusing the space for new structures but rather build memorials instead. I noticed the same for instance in Oklahoma city and Pearl Harbor.
Thank you for videoing this tour! I’ve only been to NY once and it was a busy Fathers Days Weekend. No parking anywhere. We only got to drive around we didn’t get to stop to visit anywhere except little China and Little Italy. The 911 memorial pools and museum was 1st on my list along with Central Park, to visit. I can’t believe it’s been 22 years now since the attack. It feels like yesterday as I watched it live on television. I was scared even tho I was safe in Ohio. I thought the whole country was under attack and the world as we knew it was over. It goes to show how unprepared we are for a pandemic and Terroristic attack. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to give this tour. I’ve learned so much from all the information you’ve given.

I’ve visited the 9/11 memorial in person. It felt… heavy, and I couldn’t help but cry the whole time I was there. I did not suffer any casualties in 9/11, but I just felt all the emotions, the fear, the anger, the sadness, and I felt like the victims were STILL there. My chest was tight and it was hard to breathe. I couldn’t stay there for long I had to leave and I immediately felt better. The people are still there, no matter how many years pass they will still be there, unable to move on.

Really excellent tour. Thank you. This was my 1st tour like this and I look forward to more. The only time I was personally at The World Trade Center was in September 1991. Praying for NYC, America, and the world.
Thank you so much for this beautiful tour I've never been to NEW YORK I've always wanted to go see all the beautiful monuments especially the memorial of 911 but I've seen them with you thank you so much everything is beautiful ❤️🙏RIP all the lost souls and continue healing for the families 💔❤️💐🙏

Absolutely amazing tour of the World Trade Center site and the Memorial of September 11th, 2001. Katherine is a fantastic guide and host with amazing knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed Katherine's tour of this sacred site. Thank you.
Great tour, thank you! The weather reminded me of when I visited with someone who's no longer in my life. Lots of mixed emotions personally, let alone 9/11. Hope to return to NYC again!

Can’t help but realise how eerily similar the new St. Nicholas church building is to that of the still standing Hiroshima Library building at the memorial site. 2 beautiful cities both affected by such great tragedy. Never Forget 09/11/01 ❤️
I noticed that too, I don't think it was intentional. Eventually that dome will be covered in marble, so it will look different, at least during the day.
Really great tour, thank you. Very informative. I wasn't sure if there was one or two memorial pools so thanks for clearing that up for me. I hope one day I can visit.
Thank you for showing this.Its beautiful but sad.The magnitude of what happened there That building was huge,so it makes me sad to think about all the lives that were there that fateful day.
Im glad im still here on earth that day blew me away i could have been on that same airline from boston to LA but i took that same plane on the 8th of September i was catching my flights back home to hawaii and had two stops i just could not believe it was the same plane that struck the north building of the towers but then again i wish i was on that plane that day i wanted to safe the poor peoples lifes cause its what i do great video and thank you for sharing godbless

I’m absolutely in Awe it’s so beautiful this memorial with the pretty trees 🌲. Great 👍🏼 job I absolutely love ❤️ this area so awesome 👏 with all the beauty. It also acts as a reminder and symbol of what happened on that dreadful day. God Bless all that lost 😞 their lives and God Bless America 🇺🇸.
I still get so sad about this. I was 15 and we had just moved to Australia from Nz. Such a surreal event. I had family called to help do security around the city of Sydney especially around the opera house because it was thought there might be a terrorist attack there. Thanks for this
This is one day in our lives that is indelibly forever imprinted in our souls and spirits. I will always remember when this unforgettable attack on America happened, it is truly a day in infamy. Thank you for a very informative video. It looks so pristine in comparison to 19 years ago, when I first visited this site.

I've watched every documentary on 9/11 and that was something that stuck with me. Once again thank you so much
I was there in September 2018 and it wasn't easy seeing all those names on the memorials and knowing that two structures formerly occupied the two sites and it was eerie knowing that about 2,800 innocent people who showed up for work on that Tuesday morning 20 years ago and they lost their lives for no reason. Let's hope we never face such a horrific day ever again.
Ditto that!
😢😢😢
the water feature is calming
I saw The Sphere in battery park back in 2002 when I visited NYC with my grandparents.
Seeing it again here brought back lots of memories.

27:27 I’ve seen the north and south tower memorials thousands of times, but I’ve never seen or even heard of this mural. It’s gorgeous.
Happy that we could bring it to your attention, Kari.
I never knew about it i think it's quite impressive indeed.
27:53 Such an iconic comment to make: _"man, everyone knows where they were"_ etc.
that and the Challenger exploding. Sad both were disasters.
The survivalist tree was extremely sentimental and enduring.
I was 19 from South Africa, starting as an Au pair for the year and saw the World trade centre the week before the tragic event. It's been 20 years but I will never forget that they. It will forever be a part of me, understanding and sharing this emotional day and every year on 9/11, I remember in honour of every person fallen and impacted by it and will never forget your patriotism♥️
I like this lady. First video with basically a tour guide that knows so much and doesn't just film randomly. Thank you!
Glad that you enjoyed the video. You are welcome. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
You were very through with your tour, it was beautiful. Thank you so much.
20+ years later and I still can’t muster up the courage to visit ground zero… i went in June of 2001 with my dad to Tower 1 to drop off some paper work and I remember being so amazed by everything and the tunnels underground that seemed like a hidden mini city.
And then On 9/11 I was in English class when I heard the first plane fly so low over my school I could feel my desk shake and my feet vibrating on the floor. And then we heard the explosion. After that just total caos.
Thank you for posting this cause idk if I’ll ever be able to go myself in person and pay my respects 😢
Our pleasure, Chris.
Damn dude, you were in that School close by the Center when it Happened !?
What happened to the school? Did it get destroyed when Tower one ( the North Tower) collapse?
I'm sure in time you'll find the courage you New Yorkers are resilient people, after such a horrific incident New York is beginning to heal
Thank you for the tour. I was in N.Y. when the attacks took place. Just one week before my mother had a major surgery against cancer. She was released from the hospital on September 10, 2001 and had to get back to the hospital on September 11, 2001 for complications. It was like a bad dream
Thank you
You are welcome, Carlos. Sorry that this brought up some bittersweet memories.
This is a great video. I was a sophomore in high school during 9/11. I'm from Detroit. That day instantly made me an adult. I've never been to NYC but always wanted to go and this is a must see for me. I really hope I can handle it. I don't know how I can re live that emotion again

Thank You with all my heart for this film. I cry for each person who died here.Your full of details explanations about the full of love monument,especially by listing the names by connotations helped me to suffer less for these lost human beings.God bless You.
Our pleasure, Mirka.
Thank you so much for such an interesting and informative tour. I'm in UK and would love to visit New York one day to see the beautiful memorial plaza and the new buildings, which are awesome in design. So much I didn't know, but loved the story of the survivor tree, very moving and poignant. The first responders were so brave and courageous that day and beyond, its heartbreaking how many were lost. A day nobody will ever forget, but to see how New York has rebuilt, provides hope for the future. Thank you again and best wishes to all in New York from UK.
Glad that you enjoyed the tour, Stephanie. We hope you get the chance to visit in person. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
I just got past the park with the tree… I was doing OK until the tree showed up and now I’m a blubbering mess
You do such an incredible tour!

This is really a great tour! Great job!
We were having breakfast here in New Zealand when I was at school when the tragedy came across the news channel. I thought it was a new movie coming out I then realised it was repeating on the news then I clicked and it started to sink in. I'm soooooooooo happy NYC has recovered alot from the past events
Thank you, Rawiri. The city has certainly rebounded as well as could be expected.

Thank you for this video. I'm coming over from the UK in a couple of days to visit New York and I'm really excited to see the memorial. It's amazing how 9/11 still feels like it happened yesterday, even though it was 21 years ago.
Short but really informative tour. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this interesting, informative and poignant tour, sending much love from London UK.

Loved our walk together. Thank you for being such a pleasant and informative host.
It is so beautiful and so so sad at the same time!! I remember 911 I live in canada ottawa ontario and we felt such sadness for our American Family thank you for this video

It has been several years since I walked the same area with my wife. You answered questions we had the several times we had previously visited. Thank you! It enabled me to have flash backs to when we were there and what we saw and felt. My wife is from Manhattan, so we will be back again even if we have to rent wheel chairs!
So we’ll done. Thank you.
Yes, like many others who were alive then, I remember exactly where I was when this happened! Broke my heart even though I personally did not know anyone who perished that day. What a tragedy and I can't believe it has been 20 years!! I would like to go to New York and see all this in person, hopefully someday.................this was very well done except you should look into building 7 and the real reason it came down, it was not from falling debris from another building. Thank you for posting this, and God Bless America!!
You are welcome, April. It was an honor for us to post this.
What was it then april?
Excellent. Very nice tour. Thank you.

Thank you for this tour. I live in Queens and I really didn’t know anyone firsthand who died on 9/11 but I haven’t been able to bring myself to come downtown and see the memorial yet. Maybe someday but until then tours like yours are so meaningful and insightful.
Awesome vlog and tour! Having visited the 9/11 memorial museum twice and loved it, did not know about the other various places to visit around the WTC area, now I have to go back! THANKS!
The enormous work that took to clean up & rebuild this place my devoted respect to those who are still here & to the once who aren’t May peace & harmony be with you in your after life❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
May the lost souls be smiling down on this place with the notion that America came together to rebuild the trade center so they will always be remembered ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
no
Loved this video.... finally a proper knowledgable tour video.... plus I learned a new thing - the survivor tree... I didnt know any trees survived.
Thanks so much for doing this! Out of ALL the 9/11 things I've seen, there has been nothing explaining in detail the memorial site the way you have. Thanks for all the info!
Can you believe me, that I cried almost a year about innocent victims?
Those twins also were very tremendously beautiful, since they had nothing extra-unneccessary construction elements in its architecture. Skyscrapers as they are in its meaning and first association with the word 'skyscraper' appears in my mind - they are.
From Kiev, Ukraine
So sad when it got destroyed 😢😢😢
WOOW...these walking tours are full of history! Thanks for making these; most TH-cam videos is just walking, but I actually love these types of videos where u get to learn about the city and the history of it. It reminds me of my friend (a teacher) who made a city way more interesting when walking inside of it. Thank you.

I went on holiday to new york a few months ago and our hotel was in the financial district. The first thing we went to see was the 9/11 memorial since it was closest to us. Im from the south of England and was born 2 years after 911. I'd never seen a picture of the memorial before so i didn't know what to expect but it was beautiful. The one thing i couldn't get out of my head though was that it was completely flawless. If the memorial was in London id have a hard time believing it wouldnt be covered in piss and graffiti. But all the public had done was put flowers in the names of those who they loved and lost. New york respect and unity is untouched.
Amazing info in your walkthroughs 👌👌👌
Thanks for watching, Freddy! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please do share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.

@@FreeToursbyFootNewYorkWalks Thank you so much! I hope to see you soon. 😊🙏
The memory of that day is celebrated with the memory of the fallen heroes. I still get tears 😂 we I watch. I love the memorial pools, where the north and south towers stood. I cried 😿 the day it happened, I could not believe my eyes. I live in Oregon and felt the pain here.
Commemorated not celebrated
Thank you amazing 👍 video have one dove 🕊️ around your all the time 😊 incredible. Blessing 🙏.

Of all that happened on 9/11/2001, this tree at 11:39 in this video is a gift from God. A charred tree, recovered & grown again showing the resilience that not only New York City has, but the USA also.
Ditto that.
It's amazing how huge in size this is... Also so clean... Thank you for making this video 👍
You did a great job. God bless you...thank you so much.
Visited the site in 2003, 2010 and 2018. I like the way the US always commemorates victims by not reusing the space for new structures but rather build memorials instead. I noticed the same for instance in Oklahoma city and Pearl Harbor.
But they DID reuse space for new structures and in bad taste like WTC 7, 4, 5 and 6 and The Greek Orthodox Church
Thank you for videoing this tour!
I’ve only been to NY once and it was a busy Fathers Days Weekend. No parking anywhere. We only got to drive around we didn’t get to stop to visit anywhere except little China and Little Italy.
The 911 memorial pools and museum was 1st on my list along with Central Park, to visit.
I can’t believe it’s been 22 years now since the attack. It feels like yesterday as I watched it live on television.
I was scared even tho I was safe in Ohio. I thought the whole country was under attack and the world as we knew it was over.
It goes to show how unprepared we are for a pandemic and Terroristic attack.
I appreciate the time you’ve taken to give this tour. I’ve learned so much from all the information you’ve given.
Nice video. Thanks from Sri Lanka🇱🇰
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Sachin. Nice to know it's reached Sri Lanka Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
Extremely informative and put together, learned a lot by viewing this, thank you.😇
I’ve visited the 9/11 memorial in person. It felt… heavy, and I couldn’t help but cry the whole time I was there. I did not suffer any casualties in 9/11, but I just felt all the emotions, the fear, the anger, the sadness, and I felt like the victims were STILL there. My chest was tight and it was hard to breathe. I couldn’t stay there for long I had to leave and I immediately felt better.
The people are still there, no matter how many years pass they will still be there, unable to move on.
35:00 that’s The Site of 2WTC.. Not just a Muriel
This was so informative! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing tour of the World Trade Center site and the Memorial of September 11th, 2001. Katherine is a fantastic guide and host with amazing knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed Katherine's tour of this sacred site. Thank you.
Great tour, thank you! The weather reminded me of when I visited with someone who's no longer in my life. Lots of mixed emotions personally, let alone 9/11. Hope to return to NYC again!

Can’t help but realise how eerily similar the new St. Nicholas church building is to that of the still standing Hiroshima Library building at the memorial site. 2 beautiful cities both affected by such great tragedy. Never Forget 09/11/01 ❤️
I noticed that too, I don't think it was intentional. Eventually that dome will be covered in marble, so it will look different, at least during the day.
Interesting. Thanks for bringing that up.
Really great tour, thank you. Very informative. I wasn't sure if there was one or two memorial pools so thanks for clearing that up for me. I hope one day I can visit.
Glad it was helpful, Andy! Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
Thank you for showing this.Its beautiful but sad.The magnitude of what happened there That building was huge,so it makes me sad to think about all the lives that were there that fateful day.
In 1990, I had brunch at 'Windows on the World', after marching Macy's. THANK YOU FOR giving me a chance to see this. I owe.them a rose.of remembrance
Our pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Im glad im still here on earth that day blew me away i could have been on that same airline from boston to LA but i took that same plane on the 8th of September i was catching my flights back home to hawaii and had two stops i just could not believe it was the same plane that struck the north building of the towers but then again i wish i was on that plane that day i wanted to safe the poor peoples lifes cause its what i do great video and thank you for sharing godbless

I’m absolutely in Awe it’s so beautiful this memorial with the pretty trees 🌲. Great 👍🏼 job I absolutely love ❤️ this area so awesome 👏 with all the beauty. It also acts as a reminder and symbol of what happened on that dreadful day. God Bless all that lost 😞 their lives and God Bless America 🇺🇸.
Ditto this all.
Love the symbolism included in reconstructing this place. Everythng has a meaning to it.
I still get so sad about this. I was 15 and we had just moved to Australia from Nz. Such a surreal event. I had family called to help do security around the city of Sydney especially around the opera house because it was thought there might be a terrorist attack there. Thanks for this
This is one day in our lives that is indelibly forever imprinted in our souls and spirits. I will always remember when this unforgettable attack on America happened, it is truly a day in infamy. Thank you for a very informative video. It looks so pristine in comparison to 19 years ago, when I first visited this site.
Our pleasure, Susan.
Watching from New Zealand, thanks so much for the upload!

This video made me feel like l'm in New York ❤❤. Thank you for this tour 🎉
Nice work, it brings a closure ( for me anyway) to see what its like now. Two yrs later after this vid, I'd imagine its all completed by now. This vid motivates me to go down there and take a good walk around. Good job
